Abstract

This study dealt with the policy of the government of the Union and the Progress (İttihad ve Terakki) in the era of the Ottoman Empire towards the Arabs during the Ottoman coup in 1326 AH / 1908. This policy took two different attitudes: a supporter before the coup and a hostile after it.
The Federal Turks worked to put Arab nationalism as one of their main objectives by trying to smelt it into their Turanism nationalism, and to go even further in trying to break Arab pride with more public humiliation through what the association published through its supporters in newspapers and magazines, as well as the administrative and cultural procedures that the Arabs believed were aimed at obliterating Arab identity.
This study dealt with the policy of "Tatarik"  (a concept that calls for the conversion of people and geographical areas from their original cultures into Turkish) through education and communication in Turkish, and imposed it on the Arab states compulsively, and the administrative procedures that the federalism has taken by excluding Arabs from jobs and to be limited to the Turks.
Then it highlighted the Arab attitude towards this policy, through their activities by establishing associations that explicitly aim at the independence of the Arab states from the Ottoman state and the Arab parliamentary bloc against the policy of the government of the Union and the Progress (İttihad ve Terakki).
